Thank you very much for the feedback everyone. Sorry for not responding sooner, I have been in Europe studying abroad and my post completely slipped my mind. I plan to be a regular on here in the future, I just need to stop forgetting about this place. Such a wonderful resource.
Curtis, I considered that and even tried it but something just felt wrong about it. I think in the end it will probably just stay silent. It feels better that way I think.
Bill, I don't think so. I believe it was done on this machine:

I had it transferred with www.scanyourfilm.com in 2k. When the image was jumping up and down, that actually had to do with the fact that the bolex I was shooting with needed a new spring and was on the verge of breaking. I was lucky enough that when I got back to the rental house the spring broke for the cager that was checking the camera in and I avoided all costs.
Steven, I completely agree. If I had more time for the film I would have added more to his ascension into insanity. I actually shot some more footage of that but the problem was that it was a requirement for my schools end of the quarter screenings to make sure the film was under 4 minutes long. Every 10 seconds over loses 10 points off the full 100 for the grade. I'd go back and edit that in, but the problem is that would require me to rescan it and mess with the original print, since that is the only master I've got I'm too squeamish to touch it. I'd feel awful if I ruined the film print, that would be so much work gone, as good as the 2K transfer looks I just love the way it looks on its original medium. The way it should look.
Thanks again for all the input and advice. I really do appreciate it!
Best Regards
